The Nylon Gag MK2 F1 Magneto Skimmer

Beautiful as usual, Gag. I like the suggestion of a front spoiler for downforce, and I think that some control vanes or stub wings off the engines would help bring it away from the A-Wing, even more than it already is. I think it would fit right in in the Star Wars galaxy, but it stands just fine in the Gag galaxy. Subscribed, and keep up the amazing work!

Looking good. I'm worried about how much of those pretty engines will be visible on the finished model. I hope it's a lot :)

Afternoon Every Peeps,
Thank you all so very much for your comments, it's great having you all along for the ride, much appreciated.
Things have been difficult the last couple of days, I seem to of lost some momentum.
Nothing seems to want to fit together.

1. One of the BEST :D things about scratch building is that you don't have instructions to follow.

2. One of the WORST :angry things about scratch building is that you don't have instructions to follow.

The classic double edged lightsaber thingy.....

I'm experiencing number 2 at the moment, big time.

This usually happens when painting is involved, not my favourite thing to do.
But anyhoo, here goes.............

Glued in the reflectors from some old LED lamps
